Former Fiji 7s legend, Waisale Serevi, was in tears after winning the International Vets title in Dubai at the weekend.

Serevi played for the J9 Legends team who won the title after beating the Christina Noble Children’s Foundation side.

Former Springbok scrumhalf Joost van der Westhuizen is the founder of the J9 Legends and Serevi was honoured to represent the team.

Van der Westhuizen, who played 89 Tests for the Springboks, is stricken by the terminal motor neuron disease.

According to Serevi, it is likely Van der Westhuizen only has months to live.

Serevi adds that this might be the last Christmas for Joost and he wanted to see him smile one more time before the end of 2015.

Serevi also dedicated the win to former All Black wing Jonah Lomu, who passed away last month.
